The primary accounting instructional areas are managerial and financial. While at Arizona State University in the School of Accountancy and Information Systems, I taught six courses in financial and managerial accounting. Although much of my teaching over the past eleven years has been in the managerial area, I continue to teach and conduct research in financial accounting and accounting information systems to ensure students in management and information systems courses understand and use basic accounting principles in data management, blockchain, process improvement and decision-making strategies.
Blockchain is a very relevant topic today that could significantly change accounting as we have known it for our students. As a digital artifact of information systems, blockchain technology is at the height of SAP’s developmental interests, since over 77% of the world’s transaction revenue touches an SAP system. I have attended sessions at SAP Workshops to develop a full 15-week semester Blockchain course or summer session if COBA decides it is necessary to support the processes and technologies which enable Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. If interested, I have included a free copy of Blockchain for Dummies (not that anyone is a dummy; it was free), as follows:
